Design, synthesis and antiproliferative activity of tripentones: A new series of antitubulin agents
摘要:
Structure-activity relationship studies of a new series of tripentones (thieno[2.3-h]pyrrolizin-8-ones), led us to prepare several derivatives with antiproliferative activities. The most promising 3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)thieno[2.3-b]pyrrolizin-8-one 20 (leukemia L1210. IC50= 15 nM) was shown to be a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization.

We describe herein the synthesis and the biological evaluation of a novel series of a potent anticancer agents: the tripentones. For the first time, a halogen atom was introduced in high yields on the pyrrole ring of the tricycle. This synthesis and the reactivity of the novelhalogenated tripentones in metallo-catalysed cross-coupling reactions will be described in that article. Finally their influence
Herein, we describe the structure-activity relationship study of a new 3-aryl-8H-thieno[2,3-b]pyrrolizin-8-one series of antitubulin agents. The pharmacological results from the National Cancer Institute in vitro human disease oriented tumor cell line screening allowed us to identify compound 1d (NSC 676693) as a very efficient antitumoral drug in all cancer cell lines tested. This prompted us to define the structural requirements essential for this antiproliferative activity. Among all analogues synthesized in this study, compound 1o was the most promising, being 10-fold more potent than compound 1d. Its activity over a panel of nine tumoral cell lines was in the nanomolar range for all of the histological types tested, and surprisingly, the resistant KB-A1 cell line was also sensitive to this compound. Moreover, a flow cytometric study showed that L1210 cells treated by the most potent compounds were arrested in the G(2)/M phases of the cell cycle with a significant percentage of cells having reinitiated a cycle of DNA synthesis without cell division. This interesting pharmacological profile, resulting from inhibition of tubulin polymerization, encouraged us to perform preliminary in vivo studies that led to a new prodrug chemical approach.
Hydrogenative desulphurization of thienopyrrolizinones: An easy and selective access to (Z)-phenethylidenepyrrolizinones with in vitro cytotoxic activity
Attempts in view to dearomatize some previously reported tripentones with potent antineoplastic activities led in thiophene series to an unexpected hydrogenative desulphurization reaction. The resulting (Z)-phenethylidenepyrrolizinones were tested in vitro over human epidermoid carcinoma KB cell line. The results of this biological evaluation indicated that the tricyclic core of our model can be cleaved with a partial respect of the activity. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
